Minimal circuit for a flux-controlled Majorana qubit in a quantum spin-Hall insulator
B. van Heck, T. Hyart, C. W. J. Beenakker
We construct a minimal circuit, based on the top-transmon design, to rotate a qubit formed out of four Majorana zero-modes at the edge of a two-dimensional topological insulator. U…

Thermal conductance as a probe of the non-local order parameter for a topological superconductor with gauge fluctuations
B. van Heck, E. Cobanera, J. Ulrich +1
We investigate the effect of quantum phase slips on a helical quantum wire coupled to a superconductor by proximity. The effective low-energy description of the wire is that of a M…
